Discover – Research projects, consultancy and project implementation. Promoting awareness and undertaking public advocacy around safety:

The IITGN Safety Centre undertakes a vigorous program of safety research, consultations and project implementation in the formal and informal sectors. Some of the major consultancy projects currently in the progress include Seismic design criteria for the metro structures for MEGA, Identification of an Optimal Disinfectant for the Preservation of the RO Purified Water and Safe Cities. Several research projects at the PhD and Master’s levels have been undertaken by the faculty. These include computational modeling of the condensed phase aerosols, cognitive engineering for process safety, study of human factors in the process control and alarm management directed towards preventing accidents in chemical plants and design of inherently safe chemical plants. A number of undergraduate projects have also been initiated including the development of an Indian Fire Incident Database and the development of the Android App for fire reporting. The Safety Centre recently incorporated ‘sustainability’ into its research themes and has also undertaken a project to evaluate safety practices among small and medium-scale enterprises in the Gujarat Chemical Industries.

Outreach:

The Safety Centre conducts conferences, workshops, seminars and training for researchers, academicians, safety professionals and policymakers around the world to advance their expertise, professional knowledge and skills and to introduce them to the state-of-the-art. Several workshops, training programs and short courses have been organized that cover topics such as Disaster Mitigations, Confined Masonry, Profess Safety Management, Seismic Retrofitting, Seismic Design of the Reinforced Concrete Buildings and Earth and Rock filled Dams, Fire Safety, geotechnical Aspects of the Earthquake Engineering, Soil-Structure Interaction, Fire Investigations, Enclosure Fire Dynamics, Industrial Hazard Identification and Process Safety. In addition, the Centre organizes the biennial International Conference on the Safety (ICS) covering all areas of Safety (Design and Operations, Regulations and Standards, Planning and Economics, Risk management, Testing, Behavioral and occupational safety) spread across various sectors such as the buildings and structures, consumer, fire, industrial, process, construction and transportation and informal sectors. A symposium with a special focus on process safety is also organized every year.

Teach:

The Safety Centre endeavors to develop and integrate safety-related courses into its graduate and undergraduate curriculum. Safety-related elective courses currently being offered include Introduction to Fire Engineering, Fundamentals of the Chemical Process Safety and Design of structures under fire. IIT Gandhinagar has also become a member of the Safety and Chemical Engineering Education SACHE program of the American Institute of the Chemical Engineers (AIChE), which provides teaching material and programs that bring elements become process safety into the student curriculum and also access to the wide range of educational materials prepared by AIChE’s Centre for the Chemical Process Safety. Regular Industry visits and field trips are arranged for a first-hand view of how the concepts covered in classes translate to industrial practice. The Safety Centre is also exploring the potential of developing minor and certificate courses as well as graduate programs in industrial safety in the coming years.
